Getting in the way

[Indy_Ref]

whether or not you're going to "get beat" if you're working 2-man. EVERYONE gets beat once in a while when working 2-man mechanics.

I sometimes get beat because I move UNDER the FT line extended when the ball goes up. It helps me get a great angle when watching for "over the back". However, doing this opens me up to getting beat (mostly in boys' games, not girls') on a fast break. If I know this is going to happen, I just anticipate what spot I need to be in order to get THE BEST LOOK I can get when the fastbreakers go up for the shot. It almost always works out. I believe the coaches want/expect you to help out on the "over-the-back" calls more than they want/expect you on the baseline for every fastbreak.
